ZWCAD+ 2014 SP1 Release Notes, what's new in ZWCAD+ 2014 SP1?

1. New Features
1.1 Support 3rd party cloud service SkyDrive

From now on, you can synchronize drawing files or user's custom profiles between your local directory and SkyDrive with ZWCAD+ Syble. Currently ZWCAD+ provides two choices of cloud storage: Dropbox or SkyDrive.

1.2 Compatible with IPv6 Networking

Working in the IPv6 networking environment with the old version, you may have found some authorization issues, for example the workstation could not get the floating license from the server, or the standalone soft-key could not be activated properly. ZWCAD+ 2014 SP1 is now compatible with IPv6, and solves the authorization issues.

For ZWCAD+ network version users, to ensure the authorization you need to upgrade ZWCAD+ to 2014 SP1 version, as well as the Network License Manager.

1.3 New System Variables control ribbon appearance and others

ZWAPPPLUSHIDE Controls the display of the APP+ tab on ZWCAD Ribbon

ZWRIBBONTABHIDE Controls the display of the panels on the Ribbon. The next time you start up ZWCAD+, it displays/hides the panel according to the variables that you previously set.

ZOOMWHEEL Specify the direction of the transparent CAD zoom operation when you use the mouse wheel, for example, you can specify scrolling wheel forward as zooming in, backwards as zooming out, or vice versa.

1.4 Newly supports CAD .Net interface 

RasterImage.ImageTransparency

Line.Angle

2. Enhancements 

Allows you to select a raster image by click selecting or window selecting, even the image frame is set as hidden

Create tooltips for the full path 

When you hover your cursor over the document tab, a tooltip will be displayed with the full path of this document.

zpvb compatibility 

Ensures the zpvb files created by ZWCAD+ 2012 can be loaded and run on ZWCAD+ 2014

Adjust the column width and it will be remembered 

In the Layer Properties Manager dialog box, you can adjust the column width and the result will be remembered, so the next time you open the dialog box, it will display as it was last set.

Different ribbon layout for standard version and professional version 

In the old version, the standard version and professional version had exactly the same ribbon layout, while some functions in the standard version were disabled, which may confuse our users. From now on, we have rearranged the ribbon for the standard version. In the ZWCAD CUI editor, if you attempt to add a command which is not support in the standard version, you will get an alert.
